Question M.2 Won't Boot without old SSD plugged in.

[Alec52]

I just bought a Gigabyte M.2 SSD and did the whole windows boot process from a USB drive. When I boot up it gives me 2 different Volume options (6 and 8). Volume 8 is the M.2 and 6 is the old traditional SSD. If I click Volume 8 then it will boot but I can't access any of my files from my old SSD. If I unplug my old SSD I can't boot at all. Thoughts?

did you remove the 2.5" ssd when you install windows to the m.2?
what do you mean can't access? error? don't see the drive/directory/file?

I didn’t remove the 2.5” SSD. There’s no error, but can’t see the drive/directory/file.

Then reinstall windows with old drive disconnected.
